Global Opportunities

An alliance of 32 leading institutions, Global Network provides a global platform for immersive international learning opportunities through joint teaching, program development and exchange. Including schools from regions representing a broad range of cultures and economic development, the initiative is designed to develop leaders who can astutely interpret geopolitical contexts, orchestrate diverse international teams, and leverage and engage resources around the world.

At the core of Global Network these programs are available to all PMBA students:

Global Network Courses are virtual for-credit classes, which link students through an online platform and video conferencing. Students from around the world collaborate on projects and strengthen transnational work group skills necessary for global business.

Important to note:

1. Admission. Acceptance into the courses is selective. Respective Host School instructor/faculty will review all student CVs and statements of interest in the course and make selection decisions.
2. Enrolment. All students who enrol in courses will take them for credit and will be evaluated and given a grade by the instructor of the course. Audit is not permitted. Concurrent registration with regular PMBA courses is not permitted. If the SNOC timing conflicts with a PMBA elective, students must chose which one to register in. If the SNOC timing conflicts with a PMBA required course/Residency, students are not permitted to take the SNOC and should not be applying for it.
3. Credits. Credits vary from 1.5 to 3.0 UBC credits.  Some courses cannot be taken if a student took a similar course at UBC.
4. Registration and Grades. Participating UBC MBA students will be registered in a UBC course  "BA 531 Global Network Course", which has a PASS/FAIL standing. You will need to achieve a passing grade in order to receive a PASS on UBC transcript
5. Student Obligations: Please note that you must attend all of your regularly scheduled classes according to the Professionalism, Attendance and Behavior Policy, so once you have received SNOC acceptance from the host school, please adjust your schedule accordingly. Should there be a timing conflict, students may need to choose between the academic/career activity and the Global Course. Should there be a timing conflict with a regularly scheduled class or exam and the SNOC, students will need to drop the regular course or choose between the regular course and the SNOC, since concurrent registration is not permitted.
6.  Number of Courses. Students can apply for more than one course, but the Global Network asks that you keep your applications to 1-2 courses.
7. Course Withdrawal. Please be mindful of your personal, professional and academic obligations when increasing your load. If you wish to drop a course after being accepted, please make every effort to withdraw as soon as possible prior to the course start, to allow students on the waitlist a chance to enrol and to prevent team formation challenges.
   Withdrawal from SNOCs once the course starts follows Sauder RHL Withdrawal policy, and should only be requested with a legitimate reason.
8. Time Zones. Please note the time zones for the different courses and convert them to your local time zone to ensure they work for your personal/work/academic schedule prior top submitting your application.
9. Fees. There are no additional tuition fees associated with the Global Network Course taken during PMBA.
10. Guidelines. Please review SNOC Guidelines and Best Practices document for general guidelines and practices for all students in the Global Network.

Global Network Weeks (GNW) give PMBA students and faculty the opportunity to pursue intensive study at another network school in short courses that leverage the institutions’ perspectives, programs and faculty expertise. Alongside their network counterparts, students attend classes, tour local businesses, and meet with experts focused on current regional business problems.

Watch this video to learn more about the student experience of Global Network Week at EGADE Business School, Mexico in October 2019.

Schools/Topics/Dates: You can view the list of participating Schools, topics and dates on the Global Network Website and watch for updates for March 2022. Information for March 2022 GNW will be released in late November 2021.  Please note that you must attend all of your regularly scheduled classes according to the Professionalism, Attendance and Behavior Policy, so once your GNW participation is confirmed, please book your travel (if applicable) accordingly. Should there be a timing conflict with a regularly scheduled class or exam and the Global Network Week, students may need to drop the regular course. Students can also choose the UBC Sauder Course.

Format and Credits:  Participating UBC PMBA students will be registered in a UBC course  BA 532 Global Network Week (1.5 credits), which has a PASS/FAIL standing. Upon successful completion, students will earn 1.5 credits as an elective towards their PMBA degree. All students will receive a certificate of completion from the host school.

A typical course will include a combination of lectures, seminars, case studies, company visits, culture dashes, and networking events. You are encouraged to review the course outlines, if available, to get an idea of the format. Not all course outlines have been posted by the schools yet, but check back with the Global Network website, as these will be updated through November.

Costs: There’s no extra tuition associated with taking a GNW course. Students are responsible for their own expenses related to travel and stay (if applicable), such as flights, accommodations, most meals and incidentals. Some meals, such as networking receptions, will be provided.

Network: Each participating school will host from 20 to 50 students from among all partner schools, with an average class size of 25-30. Each school can typically send 1-4 students to any given course.

Application Process: In late November 2021 students will be asked to submit their top 4 choices by filling out a short application form.

Selection Process: In case where a school is oversubscribed, lottery method will be used to determine selection, so all students have a chance at being selected for their top choice school first. Students who were not drawn for their first choice school will then be entered into the lottery for their second choice school, and so on, as long as seats are still available for those schools.   If the overall demand exceeds the total number of seats assigned to us, it is an unfortunate reality that some students might not be selected for any of their preferred schools.

If you have any questions, please contact Alina Yukhymets – Manager, Global Learning at alina.yukhymets@sauder.ubc.ca or 604-827-5283.
